THE ALABAMA STORY: Maybe I should start off by saying that up to 18
inches of snow will occur in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming and
there will be numerous snow showers, along with thunder and
lightning, at Aspen, Colorado for the next couple of days. But back
home in Alabama, it is the same old story that we have repeated ad
nauseum. It is getting drier by the day and we do not see any relief
in sight. We now believe that a wedge coming in from the east might
not cool us off hardly at all, so we are keeping our high
temperatures in the mid 80s all the way through the weekend and
through Memorial Day. A cool front will push down into West Tennessee
on Monday and possibly to the Tennessee River by Tuesday morning
before it stalls. That could give the extreme northern part of
Alabama a small chance of showers. A Code Orange Ozone Alert was in
effect for Jefferson and Shelby Counties today.

Actually, we could see a bit of smoke in the air again as prevailing
SE winds bring some more up from South Georgia and North Florida.
This is especially true in East Alabama. In Atlanta today, visibility
has been as low as about one mile in thick smoke.

THREE DOT STUFF: Hope you do not mind me writing in chopped up
incomplete sentences. I can pack much more information into this
section. I love to write that way, 'tis the way I e-mail friends and
I never write complete sentences when I am doing radio broadcasts…
3.11 inches of rain overnight at Palacious, Texas and 2.50 at Lampass…
extensive flash flooding in Killeen with numerous roads closed,
downtown impassable and with many water rescues…Houston has received
23 inches of rain this year, a 6-inch excess…Denver got 73 inches of
snow this past winter…Evergreen, Colorado 138 inches…21 was the low
in Big Piney, Wyoming today and 12 in Deadhorse, Alaska…the National
Hurricane Center issued their new seasonal outlook today calling for
13 to 17 named storms, 7 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 5 major hurricanes…
normal is 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 2 major.

AT THE BEACH: With school about over, bunches of folks will head
for the Alabama-NW Florida coast where generally dry weather is
expected all the way through the weekend with highs in the mid 80s
and mostly sunshine each day.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: When I wrote the story about Roscoe
last week, a beloved dog belonging to Edsel and Joyce Freeman, we got
a lot of return comments. I forwarded them to the family. One comment
came from a neighbor who tells me that Roscoe was at his house every
day as they built their new home in 1998. People who worked on the
house, still ask the neighbor about Roscoe. He was truly a friend of
the community…Little Miss Molly did not get to see her new friend,
the baby Yorkie yesterday. He is still nursing a broken leg…on an
afternoon walk, we met two large dogs, including a very large black
dog that used my pants leg as a fireplug last time we met. So, I did
a little quick circumnavigation. Molly did not mind, in fact she is
nervous when they are around.
